St Patrick's Day fun

Our merry band is growing!

The Wellington Sewing Bloggers Network met up again today. It's now a regular thing in our diaries, organising something once a month. On a purely selfish note, I love it, we always have a great laugh, there's always lots to talk about, we even get to see new creations from pattern testers...

Today the plan originally was to have a picnic in the Botanic Gardens, but the forecast for rain (the first in nearly two months!) meant we changed our plans and at the request from one member, we went on the hunt for yum cha as we call it here in NZ, or dim sum.

So a merry throng of eight, plus our two mascots in the form of Ash and Drake, stuffed our faces with prawn dumplings, steamed pork balls, chilli beef, spring rolls, etc. Finishing with mango pudding...

From the Chinese restaurant we all decamped to Made on Marion to swap patterns, fabric and for a show and tell. Look at all these goodies...

This looks like it would such fun! I wonder if there's anything like this where I live? The buttons you got are gorgeous, do you have anything in mind for them or have they inspired you to make anything? I like the patterns you got, all great wardrobe staples!

Those buttons are exquisite!in reply to your comment: I'm going to see how it goes with bloglovin'... but you don't need a button to use it at all! I just started playing around with PS and made one, just for fun. The bloglovin' site does have some readymade buttons too, if you did want one for your sidebar. I'm looking forward to seeing how all the alternate reader systems compare to each other, I'm sure there will be lots of reviews before too long :) I'm interested to know how you find feedly.
